It begins with a tiny, tiny, tiny sprout.
The tiny sprout grows rapidly, becoming a great, towering tree...
Through rhythmic prose and intricate illustrations, this grand narrative explores themes such as the pride found in the birth and nurturing of life, the richness of a world that grows and expands, and the futility that arises when unchecked desires lead to mutual destruction.
